Since 1982, ten brave "heroes" had attempted to take the count down, but none had managed to make it past the counts countless traps!

word spread that the castle was impenetrable, and the heroes moved on...

The last attempt was in 2026. The Count has been waiting for thirty years for the next challengers to approach him.

The band of heroes has regrouped, and one accidentally casts a curse on the count, he must repeat the countdown forever!
